1:8 But Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and David’s elite warriors ²  did not ally themselves ³  with Adonijah.

1 Kings 1:34

1:34 There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet will anoint ⁴  him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet and declare, ‘Long live King Solomon!’

1 Kings 1:45

1:45 Then Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed ⁵  him king in Gihon. They went up from there rejoicing, and the city is in an uproar. That is the sound you hear.

13:3 That day he also announced ⁶  a sign, “This is the sign the Lord has predetermined: ⁷  The altar will be split open and the ashes ⁸  on it will fall to the ground.” ⁹ 

1 Kings 22:12

22:12 All the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead! You will succeed; the Lord will hand it over to the king.”

1 Kings 1:38

1:38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites ¹⁰  went down, put Solomon on King David’s mule, and led him to Gihon.

1 Kings 22:15

22:15 When he came before the king, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” He answered him, “Attack! You will succeed; the Lord will hand it over to the king.” ¹¹ 

[1:22]  ¹ tn Heb “look.” The particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) here draws attention to Nathan’s arrival and invites the audience to view the scene through the eyes of the participants.

[1:8]  ² tn Or “bodyguard” (Heb “mighty men”).

[1:8]  ³ tn Heb “were not.”

[1:34]  ³ tn Or “designate” (i.e., by anointing with oil).

[1:45]  ⁴ tn I.e., designated by anointing with oil.

[13:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “gave.”

[13:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “spoken.”

[13:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “the fat.” Reference is made to burnt wood mixed with fat. See HALOT 234 s.v. דשׁן.

[13:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “will be poured out.”

[1:38]  ⁶ sn The Kerethites and Pelethites were members of David’s royal guard (see 2 Sam 8:18). The Kerethites may have been descendants of an ethnic group originating in Crete.

[22:15]  ⁷ sn “Attack! You will succeed; the Lord will hand it over to the king.” One does not expect Micaiah, having just vowed to speak only what the Lord tells him, to agree with the other prophets and give the king an inaccurate prophecy. Micaiah’s actions became understandable later, when it is revealed that the Lord desires to deceive the king and lead him to his demise. The Lord even dispatches a lying spirit to deceive Ahab’s prophets. Micaiah can lie to the king because he realizes this lie is from the Lord. It is important to note that in v. 14 Micaiah only vows to speak the word of the Lord; he does not necessarily say he will tell the truth. In this case the Lord’s word itself is deceptive. Only when the king adjures him to tell the truth (v. 16), does Micaiah do so.
